My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
By appearance and basic stance ( and roof rails ) it appears the the new X6 is taking a pretty direct shot at the FX . My question is why . I thought that the FX was not a big seller for Infinity or am I wrong. I know BMW believes they are pioneering a new segment of the SUV/SAV category but as the old sales saying goes... " There may be a hole in the market but is there a market in the hole ???? "
What do think ??
Cheers

I don't know how big the market will be, but as far as comparing it to the Infiniti.....the X6 is soooo much better looking from all angles and looks much sleeker. I have always thought that the Infiniti was pretty ugly, and now comparing it to the X6...it's no contest.

BMW just wants in, in all market segments... They're very profitable right now... so they're going to take advantage. Yes even though the market segments that they're attacking right now is weak there is still market share there. And if BMW can take that away market share from Infiniti (FX) Mercedes (CLS) it'll weaken Infiniti and Mecedes just that little bit more.
I just hope BMW knows what they're doing and not dilute their brand too much. Make sure its still the "ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE"
